The Phiaton MS 300 & MS 400

We get this questions all the time:

Is that real carbon fiber??

And folks, yes it is! Carbon fiber encased in a polycarbonate shell to be exact.

Mmmmmm......

Hi Flatmap,

The MS 300 are more compact and will sit on the ears whereas the MS 400 are larger and will fit around most peoples ears. I have fairly large ears and they fit around my ears perfectly.

Hello Again,

As far as acoustic values go there are slight differences. Frequency responces, sensitivity, max input power etc. Headroom did their own acoustic analysis on the two models and you can compare the results on their site if you'd like.

Aside from that, notable differences are the PS 500 is a full sized unit that doesn't fold up and has a long cable whereas the MS 400 does fold up (and comes with a case) and has a shorter cable.

So you could say the PS 500 is geared for home use and the MS 400 is suited for home, travel, and on the go type use.

Hope that was insightful for you

Hey Headphonefreak1,

Both models isolate noise quite well. The carbon fiber construction helps with that. I would say the MS 400 does it a little bit better as they tend to fit around the ears better whereas the MS 300 have a more compact design and the pads rest on the ears. All in all the difference is somewhat minimal. I was just using the MS 400 on a plane last night and I was happy with the isolation. Didn't block out the crying baby tho......

Hi 2rooi123,

Awesome! Good choice

The MS 300 has a more compact design with smaller ear cups. It's a great model for travel. I would say the MS 400 provide a fuller low frequency sound due to the cup size difference. But, the MS 400 also folds up and fits in a nice travel case as well.

At the curent time we do not have any resellers in Hong Kong. We are working on that though and anticipate shipments to China to begin this year. We are available widely in Korea and Japan currently. You may also want to visit the "where to buy" thread on this forum and see if some of our premium resellers can ship to you.

Thanks for checking in!

I wouldn't say a huge difference but the MS 400 does give you fuller low frequency response. It's noticeable though. In the MS 300 your giving up some bass for compactness.

Hope that helps! Also, headphone.com did some SQ tests on both models which you can compare.
